With so many movies in development at once at any given time, it's only inevitable that certain elements may unintentionally (or not) mimic each other. This happened to be the case when Universal Pictures was developing THE MUMMY, the first of their planned Universal Monsters shared-universe. Originally the Mummy was planned to be male and the production team had arrived at a design...

The first trailer for Universal's THE MUMMY hit earlier today and has, so far, garnered some pretty mixed reactions. I could probably just sum them all up with the title, Mummy: Impossible feat. The Enchantress, and you'd get the idea. The trailer's focus is on action and Tom Cruise doing what he does best. The following featurette doesn't aim to deviate from that,...

The classic Universal Monsters have always had a special place in my heart. DRACULA, THE WOLF MAN, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, all of these iconic images haunted my childhood in the best of ways. So when it was rumored that we would be getting a brand new franchise to bring all the classics together, I was equally excited, and perhaps a whole lot...

The trend with modern movies is that before you can see a full trailer for the film you must watch a teaser for the trailer. This gives you a good 15 seconds of footage and is supposed to get you ramped up for the trailer, which is already a tease for the full movie.

We've seen some gnarly set-pics from the upcoming Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella and while information on the upcoming flick is scarce, writer Jon Spaihts was kind enough to give JoBlo.com a little insight into Universal's Monster Cinematic Universe. Our own Walkuski shared a few words with the writer regarding THE MUMMY, VAN HELSING, and the...

They've been chasing after Angelina Jolie to get involved with THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. They secured Johnny Depp to play the Invisible Man . Russell Crowe is going to be their Dr. Jekyll AND Mr. Hyde . They're hoping to lure...

A wise man once said, “Twas beauty that killed the beast.” At least I think it was a wise man. Could’ve been someone else. Either way, I think when it comes to these new THE MUMMY photos of Sofia Boutella as the ancient baddie the line should be “beauty is the beast.”
A litany of new photos from Coming Soon put Boutella front and center as an...
